The journal collection covers the topics listed above, as well as, science education, other museums' publications, and local and affiliated scientific society publications. A complete set of the Bulletins of the Buffalo Society of the Natural Sciences and the many other Museum publications are also available for reference. Interests from the amateur and local nature lover to the university researcher are represented in the Library's journal collection.

The programs of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences are supported in part by public funds from the County of Erie; City of Buffalo; New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation; and our members and friends.
